Mark Ostoich and Earnest Harrison, my two major professors at Louisiana State University, and Wallace McKenzie, also at Louisiana State University, have guided me through my years of study. Lyle Merriman, former Dean of the School of Music at LSU, presently Director of the School of Music at Penn State University in University Park, PA, provided me with the initial idea for the index, and Raymond Martin, Central College, Pella, Iowa, suggested the listing of the identical themes. I thank these two not only for their ideas, but for their unfailing encouragement. I owe a debt of gratitude to two professors at Kansas State University. I wish to thank Hanley Jackson for his help with learning and using a music-writing computer program, and Chappell White for his numerous suggestions and words of advice concerning the index. I also wish to thank the faculty and staff of the Kansas State University Library where I have been a Music Cataloger for the past three years.

Finally, 1 wish to thank my family. I thank my parents, Hospers and Joyce Kuyper, for their years of every type of support, my children Anthony and Johanna for understanding when their mother's attention was focused away from their interests, and especially my husband, Steve, for his years of patience, advice, encouragement, typing, baby sitting, and overall involvement and interest in the project. iv Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
